  • 2019 Annual Report
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT ENSURING ACCESS AND FAIRNESS FOR ALL IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM 2019 ACCESS TO JUSTICE ANNUAL REPORT Dear Donors and Friends, By supporting the Access to Justice Campaign, you directly support low-income individuals and families in Michigan who would not otherwise have access to an attorney. Your 2019 support reflects a 32% increase in annual donations from the legal community for 15 civil legal aid programs throughout the state. In 2019, the ATJ Campaign distributed a record 1.8 million dollars to the legal aid programs in Michigan. When you prioritize giving to the Access to Justice Campaign, you lead by example in helping Michigan’s most vulnerable during times of challenge and strife. As you know, having access to an attorney levels the playing field and changes lives for the better. Legal aid offices in Michigan handle approximately 50,000 cases a year, with a disproportionate number for people of color. These cases involve preventing evictions and foreclosures, safely escaping abusive relationships, reinstituting necessary health and income benefits, and removing barriers to employment. To quantify your donation even further, 97,240 children and adults in Michigan benefitted from the help of a legal aid attorney in 2019. Countless more benefitted from legal information provided through legal aid offices. With 2020 bringing a catastrophic pandemic, the legal needs of low-income people are multiplying. Legal aid offices are working tirelessly to help families facing legal issues exasperated by the pandemic and the growing number of individuals who qualify for assistance. Your support has made a significant difference in legal aid’s ability to respond and help families in need.

In the past 12 years, the law firm has grown by leaps and bounds. Here, Foltyn chats with Law360 about how his firm has changed over the past decade and outlines his goals for the firm's future, which include "aggressively" and profitably growing further. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. It was recorded on Oct. 14. You've been chair and CEO since 2008. During the past 12 years, how has the law firm changed and grown? I took over in 2008 and it was an existential year, at least in Detroit. GM, which was then and remains one of our largest clients, was facing extinction. It was on the brink of bankruptcy with the possibility of no government bail out. And Chrysler was in a similar position. To add to it, we have a global real estate David Foltyn practice and the real estate market was deeply shaken. So we faced two really serious challenges. We've always had record years and I thought, when I took Honigman over in 2008, I would be the first chair who didn't have a record year. We were chair and CEO very strategic.
